A confidential informant told the FBI in 2017 that Jeffrey Epstein had a “personal hacker,” according to the document released by the Department of Justice on Friday.
The document, which was released as part of a legal effort by the Department of Justice to publish documents related to its late sex-trafficking investigation, does not identify the hacker, but includes information about them.
According to the publisher, the hacker was an Italian born in southern Calabria and was an expert in finding vulnerabilities in iOS, BlackBerry devices, and the Firefox browser.
The thieves say they did it Zero-day operations and malicious cyber weapons and sold them to several countries, including an unnamed central African government, the UK, and the United States. The informant told the FBI that the hacker Epstein sold the zero day to Hezbollah, which paid him with “money”.
According to the informant, the hacker “was very good at finding vulnerabilities.”
